Give the kid a break,and her time will come.Clay is her favorite surface and she reached the final,so chances of winning are there.Coco is still building her game and once everything falls into place that's when she wins.

I lilke Coco, still at present there are large holes in her game, lets be fair about that, she is young and has plenty of time to improve, I also feel she is under tremendous pressure from the media after Serena retired to be the " the next big American Star', regardless if clay is her best surface, she is not going to magically improve in vital area's of her game, the FH for starters.
Lets wait for the clay season, though for anyone to suggest she is one of the favorites, at RG, just because she made the final last year, is putting the horse before the carriage

I think her time will come,and her parents are aware of her shortcomings.She is way better than most of the players in her age group.Coco will never be like Serena ,she is her own person and her time will come.She is way better than that fluke called Raducanu.
